Happy to share our latest publication in which we performed quite extensive transcriptomics using a 7-point timecourse with NH4; NO3 and NH4NO3 on rice shoots and roots and built a co-expression network that enabled us to find new candidate regulators.

We thank all contributors for taking part in this endeavor and hope more scientists will be inspired by plant roots.
New preprint on HT nitrification inhibition assays!
These methods are heavily used in our lab, I guess for now >1M samples (probably an underestimate), including a small molecule screen (see doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.20…) and now for the discovery of a new BNI!
@PSB_VIB @ugent
Yes, we discovered our first #BiologicalNitrificationInhibitor!! 🥳
Learn about it in our preprint, which also provides detailed guidelines on the screening assays we used here and in a previous HT screen. Kudos to @BeeckmanFabian! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Probably our latest for 2023: methods paper on archaea-targeting nitrification inhibitors. This tool holds great potential to enhance nitrogen use efficiency for crops. @BeeckmanFabian @HansMotte@VIBScreenCore @PSB_VIB frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
